Migration

Maybe I just want too much. To know love, the companionship
of a partner, the unfulfilled dream of a child, to be able to see and to move
without pain,weakness or tremors, peace on earth, food for the hungry, an end
to all forms of abuse and intolerance. Maybe I just want too much and the
wanting creates such unrest and dis-ease.

I watch the geese fly overhead. Nature created a yearning inside them that
instinctively draws them to places far away. I wonder if they wake up and honk
“oh crap, we’ve got to migrate again. Can’t we just stay in one place?” And
then I see them floating upon the currents of the wind, their wings tilting
this way and that way, their honks of encouragement to the one in the lead. How
they take turns buffeting the wind for the others and flying in a formation
that makes it easier for the one behind.
How nature’s compass takes them to where they need to be.

I think of the
freedom of flight, of all that they will see….and the hardships and danger they
face. Nature calls them to migrate
knowing the journey will take some of them away from the flock. And even so, nature also created within them
the instinct to mate for life knowing the journey will leave some without their
mates, but forever part of the flock.
Maybe I do want too much. Wanting
means I have to have it here and now, no longer have to journey. Perhaps I just need to learn to fly and
listen to my instincts. Maybe I just need
to soar and see the migration.

About Me

I am not wise but I try to listen and struggle to see. I have more questions than answers. The ball of yarn and threads, representing answers to the meaning of life and the immortal question of “Why?” more often than not, falls from my heart’s loom to the floor, unraveling and becoming fodder for my cat.
Bowing from my waist in respect for you, bending my neck to offer my humble path, and hands clasped to my heart, I surrender my honor and heart to life, nature, to you and myself. Intertwined…Affirming Healing.
"In Lak' ech".... you are my other me.
